Leeds housing development in former quarry launches 73 new homes in latest expansion
The development sits just off the Leeds Ring Road
More than 70 new homes are set to be launched at a major Leeds housing development built on the site of a former quarry.
Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire is preparing to launch the third phase of Woodside Vale, off Clayton Wood Road between Horsforth and West Park.
73 new homes will be added to the development, which is transforming the former Woodside Quarry after it stood unused for more than 20 years.
Woodside Vale, which first launched in 2022, will include 299 homes, alongside areas of public open space and improved links to surrounding public footpaths.
The development sits just off the Leeds Ring Road and is surrounded by woodland. Its elevated position means residents have views across Leeds and towards Emley Moor.
The latest phase will include a mix of three and four-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes.
Taylor Wimpey said all of the new properties will include PV panels, EV charging points, triple glazing and waste water heat recovery systems.
Sam Evans, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said Woodside Vale had become a "flagship development" for the company.
He said: “The views alone make this an exceptional site, and those views will open up even more as we launch phase three and continue building in this elevated position.
“Woodside Vale has proved popular with buyers in an area where housing supply has been limited in the past.
“The homes combine thoughtful design with flexibility to suit a wide range of lifestyles and life stages.
“We are finding that Woodside Vale is popular with growing families, first-time buyers, and downsizers, and a new community is taking shape here in homes that are energy efficient and designed for modern living.”
The development has two four-bedroom show homes – the Corkham and Manford – while a feature bug hotel spelling out the name Woodside Vale has also been installed on site.
There is also a Little Free Library, which operates on an honour system, allowing residents to take a book and encouraging them to return another when they have finished reading.
As part of the development's landscaping, two ecological corridors have been created between the new homes, extending north and east.
Taylor Wimpey said the corridors are designed to support the movement of local wildlife, particularly Great Crested Newts.
The third phase forms part of Taylor Wimpey's Elite Collection, which includes upgraded specifications.
